)R. ANDREWS has had extensive 
experience in his profession, 
and enjoys a reputation and 
clientele that are national 
in scope. Having been in 
attendance for several years 
in the Historic and Genea- 
logic Department of the 

Newberry Library, Chicago, (the largest of its 

kind in the country), he has had exceptional oppor- 
tunities for research and for a thorough knowledge of 
his profession. He is compiler of over thirty family 
histories. In the pursuit of his investigations he 
has collected a quantity of very valuable genealogic 
notes referring to several thousand families of Eng- 
lish lineage — much of this data being secured from 
family records, accessible to the historian but not to 
the public at large. He is thoroughly familiar with 
genealogic books and their contents from daily use 
and handling, and keeps in touch with all new pub- 
lications, hence he knows HOW TO SEARCH and 
WHERE TO FIND. In addition to his large private 
collection of books and MSS. he has expert corres- 



pag* 0tx 



pondents throughout the East and in Great Britain, 
and is therefore in a position to guarantee to his 
clients the BEST SERVICE OBTAINABLE. Such special 
commissions as require the most exhaustive research 
Mr. ANDREWS will undertake personally at the 
eastern or foreign libraries.

^SPECIALTY is made of the prep- 
aration of Family Histories, 
containing the direct ancestry 
of the present descendant on 
all branches as far back as can 
be traced. MR. ANDREWS 
is the originator of this style 
of genealogy, and his work 
has attracted considerable attention in the East. 
Data is arranged according to families, with charts 
showing descent. Authorities are given in full for 
every statement. MSS. are typewritten on What- 
man's hand-made paper, heavy weight, rough edges, 
each page eight and one-half by eleven, embellished 
with illuminated initial letters, bound in vellum, levant

or oozed goat-skin, and illustrated with reproductions 
from photographs, etc., and with Coats of Arms em- 
blazoned on parchment (where proof of right to such 
insignia is well established). Each MS. contains all 
that can be found of the present descendant's direct 
ancestry, from parish registers, wills, letters of admin- 
istration, records of births, marriages and deaths, con- 
veyances of land, town and church histories, state ar- 
chives, published genealogies, etc. Under each family 
is given a description of the Coat of Arms, Crest and 
Motto, an account of the origin of the name and 
family, a history of the foreign branches, a biogra- 
phy of the emigrant to this country, and lastly, the 
lineage in a direct line to the present descendant. 
Hence the records are as complete as can be made, 
and no effort is spared to make their presentation clear 
in style and artistic in form. As the researches 
embodied in each MS. are represented by months, 
and sometimes years, of work, the worth and rarity 
of the volume will be appreciated. Such a book 
will be a lasting memorial to one's forefathers, and 
will hand down to posterity a veritable legacy, in- 
creasing in value and fascination as the years roll 
by.

call at his studio and an in- 
spection of his work. To 
those who reside at a dis- 
tance he can arrange to for- 
ward sample MSS. for ex- 
amination. He is compiler

tories, more or less complete, notably the following :

EMBERS of Historic and Patri- 
otic Societies will be inter- 
ested to learn of the estab- 
lishment of a Department of 
Special Research, under the 
direction of MR. ANDREWS, 
for investigating American 

$agr trtt 



lineages and collecting proof of descent from Colonial 
and Revolutionary ancestors. Arrangements can be 
made for a special search of any town, church, county 
or state records. Applications filled out for admis- 
sion to Mayflower, Colonial Wars and Revolutionary 
Societies. THE SOCIETY OF MAYFLOWER DES- 
CENDANTS in the State of California will be or- 
ganized during the year 1904. All who desire to 
become charter members are urged to communicate 

with Mr. Andrews at once.

i>R. ANDREWS has devoted sev- 
eral years to this profession 
in connection with his gene- 
alogic work. Having studied 
under Carqueville and Goudy, 
in Chicago, he understands 
not only the ART of heraldic 
designing, but the SCIENCE 
which underlies it. In a large majority of cases it 
will be found that American families have " borne 
arms," and that there are means of establishing the 




flag? eUben 



fight to bear Arms, though this right, through the 
vicissitudes of fortune or the restless ambition of 
ancestors, may have been lost sight of. A Coat of 
Arms is valueless unless the descendant's right has 
been verified and careful researches made to estab- 
lish the history and significance of the armorial 
bearings. Hence heraldic designing requires more 
than mere artistic talent in its execution. In every 
case MR. ANDREWS will guarantee the correct 
drawing of the arms, and, if desired, will give a 
certificate properly endorsed by reliable eastern of 
foreign authorities, testifying to the correctness of 
the blazon and naming the family to which it prop- 
erly appertains. 

^9 PEDIGREES handsomely lettered and with Arms 
in colors, done on parchment, are attractive subjects 
for framing. These will be furnished after the Eng- 
lish style.

family Coat of Arms, or in keeping with the client's 
literary or artistic tastes.

T IS FREQUENTLY impossible to 
give any definite estimate as to 
expenses connected with se- 
curing certain data, but an ap- 
proximate estimate can be fur- 
nished and a limit for expenses 
can always be agreed upon. 

Mr. Andrews assures his 

patrons that his prices will be as moderate as is con- 
sistent with reliable work. In researches for admis- 
sion to Patriotic Societies the charge for a prelimin- 
ary search is Ten Dollars, and this alone is often 
successful. A verified Coat of Arms in colors can 
be furnished for Ten Dollars and upward; and an 
illuminated Pedigree Chart on Parchment for Fifty 
to One Hundred Dollars, according to size. Foreign 
researches are more expensive. An extended British- 
American Family History traced out on maternal 
as well as paternal lines, and arranged as a bound 
MS. with charts and illuminations sells as high as 
Two Hundred and Fifty to One Thousand Dollars, 
dependent on the difficulty in proving connections 
between the several generations. It frequently costs 



page tljiri?*n 



several hundred dollars in foreign fees alone to secure 
abstracts of records referring to a trans-Atlantic 
lineage, while the compiling and preparation of the 
volume may easily absorb several months' time. 

<# Mr. ANDREWS cannot undertake any investi- 
gations on a contingent basis. He has to employ 
many searchers and they require payment even if un- 
successful in finding any data desired. 

\? In special commissions a retaining fee is expected. 

>? All business is strictly confidential. 

^? Payment for all work is due upon tender of de- 
livery. Data furnished can be verified afterwards as Mr. 
ANDREWS always quotes authorities, and guarantees 
that his MSS. shall be satisfactory, and complete 
as it has been possible to make them. If connections 
between the several generations have been proved by 
abstracts from historical documents, the MSS. are to 
be considered "satisfactory and complete," and his 
remuneration due at once. But that his patrons may 
satisfy themselves in advance of his ability to decipher 
old records as well as his reliability in presenting the 
data found, Mr. ANDREWS refers by permission to 
the following prominent people throughout the 
United States :
